In the manner of disputation, being able to establish and refute thesis is analogous to an army (senā); therefore, the term "army" is established. The second case explains what is done (the object/karma), and the third case explains the means that accomplishes it (the instrument/karaṇa). An army explaining action and instrument is called an 'action-and-instrument army'. The eight cases are: 1. nominative (nominative/substance), 2. accusative (action/object), 3. instrumental (instrument), 4. dative (purpose), 5. ablative (origin/source), 6. genitive (belonging/relation), 7. locative (locus/substrate), 8. vocative (address). As fully explained in the science of grammar (śabdavidyā), the first seven cases are in common use, while the vocative is used rarely). > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 50.115](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2128.50.115) - [Next: 50.117](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2128.50.117) - [Up: 50](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2128.50) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2128~en-mt.50.116) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [瑜伽論記](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1828.1.533) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2128.50.116](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2128.50.116) · Pramāṇa
